So, Teen Wolf.

Let's be clear: I never wanted to watch this show, because I never cared much for werewolves (vampires all the way!) and most of the times, they look horrible in movies or shows. (Horrible as in: incredibly cheap SFX and ugly design. I still cringe when I think of the naked skinny thing in Prisoner of Askaban they called a werewolf.) But certain people - you know who you are - kept spamming my Tumblr dash with gifsets of a certain ship, and okay, how could I resist this?
So, the werewolves actually do look okay in Teen Wolf. The humanoid wolf-form is a bit loltastic and Derek looks like Wolverine in it, but the Crinos shape is pretty good and intimidating. And, seriously, I'm surprised at how horror-esque the show sometimes gets. Like, the nightmares some of the kids have? Or some of the scenes when they were trapped at school? Some of them were creepy. I seriously didn't expect this show to be shocking or creepy. At all.
The plot of season 1 was pretty bleh, but then, I didn't expect it to be very original. The first 3 episodes didn't convince me at all, but then came episode 4 (the one where Derek gets shot) and MWAH. \o/ Suddenly, I started to like it. Yes, it was because of Derek and Derek/Stiles, but also because the focus finally started to shift onto more interesting things than Scott (who is a nice guy, but has nothing remarkable about him) and Allison (who is very pretty but otherwise not very remarkable either) and Scott/Allison and their neverending pining for each other. Seriously. Unexplained instant love. Could it get more boring?
Alpha: His username is Allison? His password is also Allison?
Stiles: Still want him in your pack?
Basically.
People I also started to like:
-
- Jackson, because I think there's a lot more to him than the show has given us so far
- the Lacrosse coach, because he's hilarious
- Danny, because everyone likes Danny
- Stiles' dad, because d'awwww
- STILES MY PRECIOUS PRECIOUS BABY, never stop being so amazing and sassy and loyal (and slightly broken underneath). ILU. And he has probably the prettiest eyes and the longest eyelashes in the history of eyelashes. Ever. (Can we also please take a moment to appreciate how fucking Hufflepuff both Derek and Stiles are? I LOVE IT.) ALSO: THIS IS MY COUSIN MIGUEL. I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS SCENE IT WAS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD.
- I probably won't have to mention that I love Derek in all his grumpy glory and fucked-up-ness and broken-ness. Also: ANGST.
I have a profound hate for the entire Argent family (minus Allison, who's relatively normal), because they are all crazy fuckers and psychopaths and I want them to go away and stop making Derek's life miserable. I hated Kate most of all, because she's SO BEAUTIFUL AND PRETTY AND SEXY AND HAS SUCH A GUH-VOICE and I wanted her on my screen all the time just to ogle at her, except that she was also a psychotic arsonist who emotionally abused Derek and - HATE (but omg, so pretty D:). I was very conflicted, so I'm glad she's dead now.
Now I'll start watching season 2 and I'm prepared for shit to go down, because I've already seen so many spoilers on Tumblr.

But I think you'll start to like or at least don't mind them anymore in season 2 xD that's what happened to me. And prepare for the lack of Sterek Scenes *sigh* but that's okay because you'll start to love all the storylines of the other characters. omfg. You go Glen Coco, keep watching! :o
And I agree with everything else except for Kate. I didn't find her pretty at all, I don't know, I didn't like her from the beginning xD (BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE CHRIS ARGENT HE'S SO PRETTY AND AWESOME okay I'm not objective with this one)
and.. yes... yes to everything else. AND STILES. Stiles angst will continue!
Soon we can talk about S2 :D mwahahhaa

Oh, I disliked Kate from the beginning, too, because you could already smell the batshit crazy on her, but my shallowness wanted to ogle at her prettiness. XD BUT CHRIS ARGENT SCARES ME. ESPECIALLY HIS EYES. D:
